I'm starting to get really worried about these skin issues I've been having. My skin's been super itchy, and I'm dealing with these reddish, swollen patches on my hands and feet. It's got this burning sensation, plus the redness has spread to my palms, making it hard and painful to even close my hands. I was given an injection and have been taking Allegra 180, Atarax 10mg, and Zincovit, along with using Lactamine Lotion, but nothing's really helping. Can you suggest any blood tests I should get to figure out what's going on?

I'm having this uncomfortable itching between my legs, right around the penis area, and I've noticed the skin there has darkened a bit. Whenever I apply talc, it seems to help with the itch. Should I be concerned about this, and is there something specific I should be doing to treat it?

I'm 20 and I've been using Skin Lite cream, and it made my face fair for the first couple of days, but then I started noticing some side effects. My face doesn't have pimples or acne, but it's turned really dark, and no other products seem to be helping. I'm getting worried and not sure what to do. Could you please give me some advice on how to deal with this?

It sounds like you may be experiencing skin discoloration and hyperpigmentation as a side effect of using the skin lite cream. To help improve the darkening of your face, you can try using a skin lightening cream containing hydroquinone, kojic acid, and glycolic acid. One option is "Melalite XL cream" which can be applied once at night for a few weeks. Additionally, using a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day with at least SPF 30 is essential to prevent further darkening of the skin. Make sure to consult a dermatologist for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm 26 and I've noticed that I have no beard on my cheeks, and my mustache grows only slightly. I'm really hoping to find a way to grow both a beard and mustache. Can you suggest any medicines or other methods that might help with this?
